Took disabled friend/neighbor to vote yesterday. Had him, me, wife, and two grandkids in the car. I finished first and went to the parking lot to get the Highlander. Pulled up close to the door and waited for the others who had maybe 100-200 feet to walk. Friend uses a cane and I saw him start to get faster and stumble but I couldn't get out of the car quick enough and he fell. Three or four big guys larger than I am ran over and helped him up. He wasn't hurt but it scared the crap out of me.
I carry him to the grocery two or three times a week. I sometimes carry him other places. I am seriously considering telling him that I won't carry him anymore unless he uses a walker. Might not do this at Walmart because there will always be other people around to help. But he now weighs over 300 pounds and I cannot get him up by myself. I hate to do this but it concerns me greatly. It will be a blow to his dignity for me to do this but what can I do.
